Only use silicon which clearly states that it is 100% pure silicon with no added extras. Silicon intended for bathroom or glazing use will have anti fungal agents added which are poisonous to fish.

For aquatic use it should be high modulus silicone, with no added anti-fungal contents. High modulus is designed for total submersion in water, whereas low modulus is water resistant, as opposed to waterproof.
